To evaluate a range of commercially available varieties. These reflect the most widely grown varieties in the area and include others that may be considered in the future. They include a number of different grades, reflecting market options in Southern Victoria.
Key messages
2011 proved to be a high yielding year for canola. The site mean from this trial was 2.99t/ha.
The Roundup Ready varieties yielded the highest at a mean of 3.09t/ha followed by both Clearfield and TT varieties at 2.93t/ha.
As was the case at Lake Bolac, 45Y21 RR was the highest yielding cultivar at Inverleigh producing 3.48t/ha or 116% of the site mean.
Crusher TT and Hyola 575 CF were the top performers in their categories, yielding at 109% and 111% of the site mean.
